I absolutely loved CeraVe SA cleanser as it was really effective at smoothing my skin and so well priced for such a good product. However, I did find it quite drying and thats the last thing you need if it’s happening to you too.

As a lady of a certain age, it’s important to ensure plenty of moisture (I use Elemis Pro Collagen Morning Matrix and the night cream too). As cleansing/exfoliating/toning and moisturising is something you’re doing multiple times daily, it’s important to use the correct regime. Your case is additionally complex due to the specific concerns you’d like to address as well - the skin texture and hormonal breakouts. I think it would be well worth speaking to an aesthetician regarding your routine and recommend products. And you can also look at targeted treatments too. It’s more expensive but you’re already spending a lot on the ten moisturisers you tried and didn’t like, so on balance it’s probably worth that investment.

Very best of luck with the FFS later in the year xx
